Robert Bryson Hall, more formally known as Logic, once again exceeds expectations and delivers a very retro style album, focusing more on his roots and his jumpstart to stardom.

Logic is very known for creating many different types of albums, and one of the most contrasted from his original work is The Incredible True Story. Though this tale-telling album speaks about some of Logic’s roots, the overall vibe, placement of songs, and different scenes in the album very much differ from the basic all-rap album that is YSIV

Since then, he has delivered Bobby Tarantino II, and most importantly, Young Sinantra IV. This album contains a much broader array of song rhythms, connecting back to one main theme of “backpack rap”, which arose in the late Nineties. This reawakens the retro basic boom-bap beats and original sounds based off of what Logic began as.

Logic reveals (and somewhat clairfies) in his outro song,“Last Call”, that this isn’t his last album, as many were previously confused that this would be the last. Instead, this album is the final instalment in the Young Sinatra series, putting a gravestone on those future albums.

One very intricate part of the album is Logic’s use of the remaining members of Wu-Tang Clan, an East coast based rap group originating in the early Nineties. Continuing from the theme of throwback rap, Young Sinatra IV features all remaining members of the group and brings them together for one of the most interesting songs on the album, “Wu-Tang Forever”.

Overall, I am pleased with what Logic did with this album. This is an album that needed to be released for the world to listen to. From all the different styles of albums Logic creates, he seems to do better whenever he kicks it back to his beginning, which after all is how he came to fame.
